Description: Apartments, houses, log cabins, and houseboats are all kinds of homes, though they can look vastly different. Around the world, families settle into homes that can look quite different than these, yet serve the same purpose: to shelter. This volume will capture readers  imaginations, allowing them to view various types of homes, including the yaodongs of China and Queenslanders of Australia. Beautiful photographs serve to illustrate both architectural and cultural concepts. Full-Color Photographs, Further Information Section, Glossary, Index, Websites.
